US 2018/0006763 A1 · METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR TRANCEIVING COMMON CONTROL MESSAGE IN WIRELESS ACCESS SYSTEM SUPPORTING NARROW BAND INTERNET OF THINGS

Abstract

Provided are methods for repeatedly transceiving a common control message for a machine-type communication (MTC) terminal in a wireless access system supporting MTC, and apparatuses supporting the methods. A method for receiving a common control message for an MTC terminal in a wireless access system supporting MTC according to one embodiment of the present invention may comprise the steps of: receiving a channel status information reference signal (CSI-RS); and receiving a common control message from a subframe in which the CSI-RS is received. Here, the common control message can be configured so as to be repeatedly transmitted from a previously configured number of subframes comprising the subframe.

Dependent claims

A method for transmitting a common control message in a wireless access system supporting Narrow Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT), the method comprising:

allocating a bandwidth for the NB-IoT;
and
transmitting a common control message in the allocated bandwidth,
wherein the bandwidth is configured to be aligned with a boundary of a Physical Resource Block (PRB) used in a legacy system,
wherein a PRB which minimizes an offset between a center frequency of the bandwidth and a center frequency of the PRB is allocated as the bandwidth for the NB-IoT, in consideration of a bandwidth of the legacy system, and
wherein the PRB allocated as the bandwidth for the NB-IoT is not used as a Distributed Virtual Resource Block (DVRB) in the legacy system.
